Rob Russen and Sal Corrente's International Wrestling Association, represented by parent company Heir Apparent Entertainment, has partnered with world renowned veteran's non profit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a leader in supporting the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families. Begun in 2000 and established as an independent not-for-profit organization in 2003, the Fund has provided nearly $200 million in support for the families of military personnel lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans. These efforts are funded entirely with donations from the public, and hundreds of thousands of individuals have contributed to the Fund.
In January 2007 the Fund completed construction of the Center for the Intrepid, a $55 million world-class state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Center serves military personnel who have been catastrophically disabled in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and veterans severely injured in other operations and in the normal performance of their duties. The 60,000 square foot Center provides ample space and facilities for the rehabilitation needs of the patients and their caregivers. It includes modern physical rehabilitation equipment and extensive indoor and outdoor facilities.
Through this partnership, a portion of all ticket and merchandise sales at all IWA live events will be earmarked to help the efforts of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund's work to help disabled veterans, their families, and the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"This is a great moment for Heir Apparent Entertainment and the International Wrestling Association", said Heir Apparent's President of Entertainment Operations, Dewey J Welch. "No one does more for this nation than the men and women of the armed forces, and the sacrifices made by their families are unparalleled. What the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund does for veterans and their families, and for the families of those veterans who didn't make it back, is astonishing. We are extremely proud to be a part of those efforts."
Heir Apparent Entertainment is the parent company of the International Wrestling Association, and is based in Virginia Beach, VA, and Philadelphia, PA. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a non profit organization that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in support of their efforts across the globe.
